Breaking Up with Social Media: My Journey Back to Authentic Visibility
Becoming a mother changed everything.
Not just in the way you'd expect. The diapers, the sleep deprivation, the overwhelming love, but in the deepest, soul-shaking way. It forced me to reevaluate every ounce of my energy, especially where I was leaking it.
And for me, the biggest leak? Social media.
I’ve been using social media for my business since 2019. I had big hopes for what it would do, the connections, the clients, the growth.
But what it gave me instead was burnout, comparison traps, and a distorted sense of what success even looks like.
Here’s the raw truth I’ve uncovered: relying on something outside of yourself for your success is a problem. You give away your power, and you attract more situations where your success feels just out of reach unless some algorithm decides you're worthy that day.
The Visibility Wound
I've always known, deep down, that I’m here to lead a movement. It’s written in the stars. in my birth chart, in my energy, in my purpose. But the idea of being "seen" has come with a whole lot of fear.
Subconsciously, I believed that being too visible meant giving up privacy, safety, and peace. I picked up this belief from years of watching reality TV, where fame seemed synonymous with losing control over your life. But that isn’t the whole truth… it’s just a narrative I created.
When I dig deeper, I know it really started in childhood. Being picked on, not fitting in, being told I had to wear the “right” clothes to be accepted, those things stuck with me. They planted the seed of “don’t be too different,” “don’t stand out too much,” and “don’t be too visible.”
And so for years, I dimmed my light.
Social Media and Authenticity Don’t Mix
Let’s be honest… social media doesn’t promote authenticity. It promotes performance. And I got tired of performing. I got tired of sharing snippets of my life just to prove I’m worthy of being seen.
Success for me is not constant content creation. It’s not being glued to my phone. It’s not living my life for strangers.
Success is presence.
Presence as a mother.
Presence as a wife.
Presence with myself.
That’s why I stopped sharing my child online. I didn’t even announce my pregnancy publicly. Not because I was hiding but because I was protecting something sacred. Energy is potent, and I want to be intentional with how I use and share mine.
Reclaiming My Voice
The most powerful shift I’ve made lately is recognizing the limiting beliefs that have held me back. Especially the ones around visibility. And instead of letting those beliefs run the show, I’m calling them out. I’m choosing a new truth:
✨ My voice and visibility will attract the right people.
✨ I can be magnetic without being constantly online.
✨ I am allowed to be seen and still feel safe.
And let me say this loud for the women in the back: you do not need social media to be successful.
If you feel resistance to it, listen. That resistance might be sacred. Your dream clients, your abundance, your aligned success… they can find you without an algorithm.
The Truth About Success
We’ve been sold this lie that success is Stripe screenshots and viral reels. But for me, success looks like joy, pleasure, freedom, creativity, sovereignty.
And honestly? That’s the kind of success I teach inside my membership, where women are learning how to become magnetic and abundant AF, all by embracing their true selves.
We’re living in a time where authenticity is becoming a luxury. In a world saturated with AI, ads, and curated everything, realness is the most potent currency.
I don’t want to live my life for likes. I want to live it for me.
Your Life Is the Message
Every time you hesitate to share your truth, every time you shrink because you’re afraid of judgment, every time you choose to blend in instead of stand out, you’re delaying your impact.
And let’s be clear: the people who judge, the ones who leave nasty comments, the ones who project their own pain onto others? They’re not your people. They're not who you're here for.
You’re here for the ones who are craving realness.
For the ones who want to feel deeply, live freely, and express boldly.
For the ones who are ready to paint their own masterpiece on the canvas of life.
And that starts with you. With your voice. With your visibility.
So no, I’m not just quitting social media. I’m reclaiming my energy. I’m coming home to myself. I’m choosing a life that feels damn good from the inside out.
And I want that for you, too.
